Garnier Skin Perfector BB Cream Review

I really liked it.it was smooth on my skin and I didn't no I was wearing it. it was very light feeling on my skin would defiantly use it again

Today as my parcel arrived I raced to the door! I couldn't wait to try my Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream -for normal skin. This product claims to be an all in 1 BB cream which was; 24hr* Hydration, Evens complexion, Corrects blemishes, Boosts healthy glow, Uv Protection SPF 15. The top of the box also claims 'Instantly Perfect Skin' which is a big claim to make! I have 'normal' skin and only occasionally if i don't use primer my nose may become a little bit oily with my foundation by the end of the day. Unfortunately I did find my nose to be a little bit oily with the bb cream quite soon after application. The consistency was fairly thick and creamy but it did spread quite well. I use my fingers the first time but was itching to put it on with my usual flat top buffing brush -I tired this the next time and did prefer it, although with a bb cream I feel like you should be able to just pop it on effortlessly with fingers or you may aswell be using foundation.. It is quite strong smelling, to be honest I can't decide if I like it or not. It is not unpleasant though. The coverage is reasonable, I personally have freckles that I don't want to cover but it was enough to give me a fairly even complexion, so i'm happy with that. I am also very pleased with the finish it is not matte and not too dewey just a perfect healthy looking in-between. It has lasted pretty well throughout the day (minus making my nose feel a bit oily) The price is reasonable for a BB cream $17.50 is what i would expect to pay. It is a 50ml bottle so it will last me a long time (I have no makeup days so i wont be wearing it more than a few times a week) The packaging is just standard nothing wow but no complaints either, it is user friendly. The only thing I would have liked more is if there was plastic around the lid for peace of mind that it hasn't been used before! I am not 100% convinced that it did everything it claimed. The statement on the box 'Instantly perfect skin' I definitely found my skin far from perfect. It also didn't correct any blemishes I had nor under my eyes. But in saying that i did love the 'healthy glow' that it stated on the box and that it is SPF 15 - always a bonus! I personally wasn't wowed by this product but i think it would suit some of my friends well so I will be recommending it to them.

There are many really great things about having porcelain skin. It's striking and means you suit tonnes of lip colours, but is not so great in that you must search to the ends of the earth for complexion products and avoid the sun like the plague. I have been blessed with NW5/10 skin that I love and look after, and so I put my hand up for this trial to do all fair skinned ladies like me a service and see if this product in 'light' really was light enough. I knew it would be touch and go, and that since such products need to be formulated to fit a range of skin tones, I recieved this product cautiously hopeful but ready to be dissapointed. Alas, as per my prediction this product is significantly too dark for moi. I reckon that for about NC/NW20 to 30 it would be just beautiful. And that is because it is a really beautiful product. It applies like a dream, feels just like a moisturiser and hydrates the skin without being heavy or sticky. It veils the skin with a lovely lightweight coverage that seems to blend and blurr out uneveness and give the skin a gorgeous dewy lustre. Did I use enough adjectives in that sentence? I think so. I did try this on my face despite it not being my shade and I loved the way that it blended out into the skin and provided a coverage which was somewhat between that of a tinted moisturiser and a light coverage foundation. Win. My sister and mother both gave it a go and thought it made their skin look awesome. I think that for 17.50 you can't go wrong with this product, and I'm very thrilled that Garnier is churning out very high quality products at affordable prices. If only they made it in extra-light. The expedition for a pale BB continues!

Let me start off by saying I absolutely love this BB Cream! It's the first one I've tried, only because I didn't think they would do anything for me as I usually like fuller coverage foundations. This BB cream is now a favourite of mine and I will definitely be using it heaps in the future... :) I really like that Garnier has come out with a few different BB creams for different skin types, it means there is something for everyone. I like the packaging, its cute and easy to use, the squeezy tube allows better control of how much product comes out. It looks quite dark when you squeeze it out but don't let that scare you, it blends away to almost no colour whatsoever. Its very creamy and smells pleasant. Like I said it blends away very well, but still gives a nice amount of coverage. It makes the skin look smoother, more radiant and hydrated. It lasts on my skin a good 7-8 hours I would say. Has no shine or oilyness. Minimizes the appearance of pores and is nice and light on the skin, not heavy at all. I think this product would be perfect for girls who don't like to wear allot of makeup during the day because it makes your skin look naturally flawless without the weight of a foundation.

I really really want to love this. But for some reason I just can't. When it goes on it gives a little bit of coverage which I like on days when i'm not really doing anything, and it seems okay at the time but It's a little to drying for my liking- I have to apply a really good moisturizer before hand (And I don't have dry skin!). This is one of those products I don't absolutely love- but will continue to use on the days when I want to go basically makeup free and when I'm short on time.

I have had very mixed feelings about this product from the very start. I think my expectations were a bit too high for this product. I received the Garnier Normal Skin BB cream in Medium. In hindsight I should have gone for the Light shade as this one ended up being a bit too dark for me most of the time. I think the packaging is quite nice and the box has all the information that you would want to know on it which is good, as I hate it when you have a box that doesn't tell you anything useful about the product. I think the caramel brown colour of the tube is quite nice and think that the flat bottom is quite handy as it means you can stand it upright on your dresser. The consistency of the BB cream is thick and creamy and it wasn't running down the side of my hand when I went to apply it. When applying it I just applied it like my normal moisturizer, with my hands. As I was doing this as a trial I tried different ways of applying but would not recommend any of them. I tried applying with a duo fibre Real Techniques brush and a normal foundation but didn't like either of them very much and I still had to use my fingers to blend. I did try a buffer brush to blend but found it took off half the product. I also tried applying it with a beauty blender, which worked better than the brushes, but again had to use my fingers so hands it was for me. The coverage was a light to medium coverage and did well at covering my minor blemishes and redness. I did try applying twice for extra coverage, waiting in between for the first layer to dry, and that did work rather nicely instead of usingfoundation. The longevity wasn’t too good compared to another BB cream I have used, and the weather isn't even hot yet. I have found that as it dried it sometimes looked a bit orange on my skin and it would all be pretty much gone by the time I go to wipe it off with my makeup wipes at night. When applied under my matte foundation it made it look oily and also decreased the longevity of that product too even though it did give me a more flawless look. One of the things I was most disappointed with was that this product has made my skin oilier. I have combination/normal skin depending on the season. Some days it goes slightly oily or slightly dry. My skin hasn't felt as oily as it does now in about 4 years! I may need the one for oily skin now which is a bit annoying. Will have to go back to toning my face which again I haven’t had to do in years. If this BB cream had of been the perfect fit and I would have been using it every day then I think this probably would have lasted me about a month and a half. For $17.49 for a 50 ml package it is a good price but I would rather stick to my moisturizer and foundation combo as I get exactly the right colour for my skin, SPF protection and oil free skin. I will try this BB cream in this shade again in summer when my olive skin looks a bit darker. I’m not sure if I would recommend this product to anyone who has similar skin to me.

I really enjoyed this product. I found it great as it had a built in tint that helped with full coverage. I found it spread easy, had a great sent and good product consistency. I trialled it as both a foundation and as a base primer before I put foundation on (see tips for outcome).

I think you really need to know your skin colour as I could imagine without testing in store, it would be easy to get the wrong one. I got med which is my "normal" tone but had to be careful not to use too much as it would look really fake. I don't think it has as an amazing flawless look as it states in the add (a bit airbrushed) but still is a Great product for the price of it. I would buy this and recommend to friends.

This was my first trial with Beauty Review and I am so happy I got the opportunity to test this product! My skin is pretty “normal”, and I only really suffer with the odd breakout, usually on my chin. I chose the Medium shade which was a tiny bit too dark, but still much more suitable than the Light shade which was way too light. Having only 3 shades to choose from definitely makes choosing the right one for you much easier. The packaging is nice and simple and is small enough that you can keep it in your handbag if you need to touch up during the day.

I found the consistency to be almost mousse like; not too thick or thin, just right. It is extremely easy to apply just like the packaging said- just apply like you would with regular moisturizer. I just used my fingers. This product smells really nice (not what I expected) and it also gives a really nice coverage. I used the BB cream on days when I wasn’t wearing much makeup, and used it along with a little bit of concealer to hide any breakouts I had. This product does a fantastic job of making your skin look great with hardly any work involved.

Unfortunately during my trial period, I have been suffering with a cold so have spent most of my days blowing my nose which naturally caused the BB cream to be wiped off, so if you’re sick, this product won’t last long on your face! Other than that, I was really impressed with how long it lasted.

I am really happy with this product, my skin always looked great after using it and I will definitely be buying another when mine runs out and recommending it to my friends :)

I think that this product should be labelled a tinted moisturizer rather then a bb cream. Its nothing compared to other brands of bb cream that I have used. It has a thick sticky consistency and made me look really orange and made my face look worse then ever and also made me break out, i think this was due to the fact that it was so oily. The packaging is good and it has a nice smell however this product was not for me.

My first impression of the BB cream was great, the tube it comes in is pretty and it would appeal to me to pick up in a shop.

Of course the first thing I did when I opened it was try a small amount on the back of my hand and I was quite surprised at the texture being quite thick and was a bit concerned it would be quite heavy, but after rubbing it into my hand it just disappeared into a light, non-greasy finish.

I usually wear a medium coverage, buildable foundation to work Mon-Fri and then lighter on the weekends, Sunday's I allow my skin to breath and wear no makeup at all so I thought I'd give it a shot on Sunday in lieu of sunscreen. I opted for the 'light' version as I'm very pale being from Ireland.

I usually apply my makeup with a beauty blender but wanted to see what the texture was like so just applied it with my fingers, I loved that it was quite a creamy consistency and didn't run. The smell was also quite pleasant and it almost smelled a little bit like tea :-) I applied it over my usual routine of moisturiser and primer and it went on like a dream and instantly absorbed into my skin. I loved that it wasn't greasy and almost dried to a matte finish, I have 'normal' skin and it felt really nice on my face. I wasn't expecting any coverage which was good because I didn't get any, I did however get a more even complexion. My skin is in good condition, I don't often break out so I don't have a lot to hide other than evening out my skin and this is perfect for that. I finished off with some translucent powder and I was ready to go. I love the finish and the best part was that I didn't feel like I was wearing anything at all. It's so lightweight and looking in the mirror - my skin just looked like a better version of itself with no makeup on. Even my Husband commented that my skin looked really good not having known that I had anything on.

I would absolutely wear this again, in fact it will probably be my weekend go to and I imagine in summer it will be great to wear out so I'm looking forward to trying it then. I love that it has UV protection.

The only thing I didn't like is the coverage - I don't know that it would actually correct blemishes, I don't have any at the moment to try it on but it's so light that I have my doubts.

All in all I think it's great, especially for those of us that wear heavier makeup during the week - it's a refreshing change to have something on that makes me feel not so 'naked'
